Description*
The Thesaurus Of Plant characteristics (TOP), aims to harmonize and formalize concepts for plant characteristics widely used in ecology. TOP concentrates on two types of plant characteristics: traits and environmental associations. Characteristics are modelled as the ‘Quality’ of an ‘Entity’ used in the context of Open Biological Ontologies. Whenever possible, the Entities and Qualities are taken from existing terminology standards, mainly the Plant Ontology (PO) and Phenotypic Quality Ontology (PATO) ontologies. TOP provides names, definitions, units, synonyms and related terms for about 850 plant characteristics. See more...

Known usage
Harmonizing definitions of concepts, as proposed by TOP, forms the basis for better integration of data across heterogeneous data sets and terminologies, thereby increasing the potential for data reuse. It also allows enhanced scientific synthesis. TOP therefore has the potential to improve research and communication not only within the field of ecology, but also in related fields with interest in plant functioning and distribution. See more...
